Lady Sunrise
About this book
From the glittering high-rise condos to the desperate streets of Vancouver, powerful stories told by women reveal the fraying social fabric among the wealthy and hangers-on in the city's Asian Canadian community.
Lady Sunrise introduces us to six women who are risking everything, all motivated by the need for more money and the freedom it could buy, whether it's the allure of expensive items and real estate to substitute what's been lost or the safety of not being in abusive debt to anyone else just to survive. This heartbreaking examination of the effects of today's hyper-consumerist society will challenge perspectives of strength and power, exposing painfully raw consequences.
